PolyWorks Case Study

A Flare for Design and a Passion for Perfection

For nearly 40 years, Bushwacker, a family-operated business in Portland, Oregon, has manufactured fender flares and truck accessories for the automotive after-market with passion and pride. Recognized as a leading manufacturer, Bushwacker creates innovative designs and produces high-quality products. As Sterling Logan, Design Engineer at Bushwacker, stated, “To do this, we need leading-edge tools.”

After experimenting with alternative solutions and scanning services, Bushwacker acquired a top-end scanning system that includes a seven-axis Romer Infinite 2.0 arm, a Perceptron ScanWorks V5 laser scanner and InnovMetric’s PolyWorks® 3D metrology software. Knowing the precise digital data of a vehicle’s surfaces allows Bushwacker to focus its talents on product designs with the confidence that they will fit perfectly. With 3D scanning, fit is taken out of the equation while simplifying the process and slashing man-hours.
